whether he needed an attorney to get through the process. If so, he felt that the City of Louisville had a real problem. Light replied that he would be happy to go over it with Mr. Lee or with the attorney representing him, whichever Mr. Lee would prefer. Mayer stated that he was very disturbed when he initially saw the appeal and felt that it was an abuse of the existing process. He asked Light whether the applicant could submit his modified plans to the Planning Commission, or have them reconsidered by the Planning Commission. Light replied that the answer to both questions is, yes. In this context, there is an application filed, it was taken to Planning Commission and denied. Under the Code, you are entitled to appeal that denial. You are also entitled, if you like, to ask the Planning Commission for a reconsideration. Light stated that he understands that the applicant filed a timely notice of appeal to have the appeal come up to the City Council. The only reason it must be removed from tonight's agenda is that, under the Code, we have to give notice by publication at least five days prior to the hearing and, unfortunately, it wasn't done. Davidson requested that Sam Light contact the applicant to go over the appeal procedure and also place that information in writing to members of Council. Davidson moved that Council approve the Agenda as amended, seconded by Sisk. All in favor. APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA Davidson called for any changes to the Consent Agenda. Simmons stated that at last night's Finance Committee meeting, the Committee reviewed the bid award for the sports complex playground. The amount of work required for the project exceeded the appropriation. The Finance Committee recommends that the additional funds needed to complete the playground structure, specifically the protective netting around the structure plus a $2,000 bid overran, be taken out of the unencumbered fund balance in the Conservation Trust Lottery fund. Davidson replied that this does not appear to be a Consent Agenda Item and moved it to Agenda Item 6N under Regular Business. Sisk stated that representatives of the Centaurus Little League are in attendance tonight to present Council with a donation for the playground structure. He suggested that Council move this item to Agenda Item 6B-1, to be discussed prior to the presentation. Davidson agreed and called for any other changes to the Consent Agenda.
